See: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/default.mspx

Now, the real question. Has anyone tried to install/run this under Parallels RC2 yet? Please post your observations if so.

I believe previous betas didn't work, so I can't imagine this one would. Haven't tried it though.

"Windows failed to load because the firmware (BIOS) is not ACPI compatible".

That's a Parallels limitation, right?
